@abcdw thanks, could you point me to a tutorial for starting from the scratch? I am using guix in a foreign distro ...  @nanounanue I don't have tutorials at hand, but you can use manuals: https://trop.in/rde/manual Also, you can lookup streams recordings on the related topics on my channel and @daviwil's System Crafters channel. @nanounanue If you want to use your existing configuration with Guix Home/rde it's also possible, but you need to do it really carefully to guarantee reproducibility. Right now my custom emacs configuration (init-el) contains just a few lines, everything else is covered by rde. |
@nanounanue The one way to use rde is generating home-environment record object, which you can pass to guix home reconfigure, so basically it doesn't matter too much if you craft home-environment from scratch or using rde or combining both approaches.
If you talk about your current hand-crafted ~/.config/emacs it will be backed up to home folder by symlink manager: https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Declaring-the-Home-Environment
If you have ~/.emacs.d - move it out manually to other location, as it have priority over ~/.config/emacs.
